Are you able to give me any advice on what medications can help/hinder my bowel leakage?

Hi Sally

Some medications have the side effect of changing the consistency of stool, and medications such as laxatives can improve gut motility and this in turn can improve/ prevent symptoms of constipation.

Another medication (Imodium) can improve the consistency of the stool if it is too loose.

Whilst medication is available over the counter I would suggest you seek advise from your GP 1st as they will be able to give a holistic assessment to ensure it is the correct treatment option.
